History
The shrine originated when a collateral branch of Hiko-hohi-no-Mikoto, the distant ancestor of the Kasuga Ashigaro clan, settled in this area and worshipped him as their ancestral deity. Approximately 80 meters west of the shrine buildings stands a monument marking the site of Kasugayama Castle, which is said to have been constructed by Yamana Yoshiyori in 1378 for the defense of Ono Castle after he became the shugo (military governor) of Kii Province.

What visitors say
This shrine is situated on a hilltop, requiring visitors to climb many stairs to reach it. The grounds are decorated with wind chimes, traditional Japanese umbrellas, and teruteru bozu (paper dolls used to pray for good weather). Seasonal Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) and cute omamori (amulets) are available. The atmosphere is small and tranquil, and there are nearby shops selling nejiame (twisted candy).
